What's New in PilotNest

1.2.2

October 10, 2026

Make your remote-control layout your own: arrange controls within sections and reorder whole sections without mixing them together. New • Page Up, Page Down, Home and End controls for the foreground app on your Mac. They are off by default; enable the keys you want in Control features. • Automatic switching when the selected Mac is unavailable and just one other paired Mac remains discoverable for 10 seconds. Manual switching takes priority during the current use session. Improved • Keep mute beside the volume slider as a compact, icon-only control. • Touch and hold to reorder controls while keeping their visibility preferences and section layout. • Optional Bluetooth identity checks help updated MacPilot recognize an explicitly linked BLE Unlock device when its Bluetooth identifier changes. Fixed • Open Section order reliably from the toolbar and keep both section and control order after reopening the app. Update MacPilot to use the new navigation keys and optional Bluetooth identity checks. Existing controls remain compatible with older Macs.
